I spy a trough...

I spy with my little eye a trough into which desperate politicians root for pork and votes.

Just five days after Transport Canada forces the provincial government to take care of its responsibilities for bridges and trestles along the T'Railway, Loyola Hearn turns up at a Hospitality Newfoundland and Labrador event with cash to fix things up.

$1.5 million in cash from the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency.

The feds are dropping cash from a business development agency into a provincial park?

From which program?

And by what application, Loyola?

Hmmmm.

This is very suspicious, what with the federal Conservatives gearing up for an election.
